The Movie Cricket:
All about flicks by Sean P. Means

Two fewer shingles
Warner Bros. has decided to close down two of its indie arms, Picturehouse and Warner Independent, reports Daily Variety.

Reading through this statement by Warner's Alan Horn, the upshot is that the more offbeat Warner films apparently will be handled by a re-worked New Line Cinema.

Picturehouse was built out of the remnants of New Line's Fine Line division, along with Newmarket Films and HBO Films. Its recent slate includes the double-Oscar winner "La Vie en Rose," as well as "Run Fatboy Run" and the upcoming "Mongol" and "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl."

Warner Independent so far this year has released "Snow Angels" and Michael Haneke's remake of "Funny Games." Its cinematic high spot was releasing George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" in 2005.
